So I bought this game, Hi HO Cherry-os at a yard sale this summer & it was missing a few of the cherry-Os. So Milo and I decided to make some cherries of our own. Paper Clay came in quite handy and some red paint & now we can continue on with our cherry picking....
I was really digging these pre-painted cherries, very interesting...pre-painted cherries
and our finished product...

doll-liberation


spanish doll

Once upon a yard sale I stumbled upon this doll. She comes from across the ocean, where she was nestled in a tiny courtyard on a crisp evening,

keeping her wits about her & her castanets in hand,
castanet detail
she tilted her head,
lifted her skirt,
let the bows on her shoes shimmer in the candlelight
& began the dance
doll legs
& with one gallant yelp....
"Viva Zapatero!"

Welcome to Philadelphia


Wanted to give a warm welcome to Wendy and wish her well on her Philly adventures. Wendy posted a few photos of her room here with us on her blog, celery's green.
Its been lovely having her here with us and jeesh, Milo is beside himself with joy having a new friend.
Tonight Wendy and I enjoyed a Rita's Water Ice Gellatichocolate, vanilla and cherry....yum! Its exciting to share some of what I love about Philly ..... the fringe fest, & discover some new events.....Soapbox Derby.
Viva la Wendy!
